Piano Concerto No.2, Op.16 (Prokofiev, Sergey)

It is very unlikely that this work is public domain in the EU, or in any country where the copyright term is life-plus-70 years. However, it is in the public domain in Canada (where IMSLP is hosted) and other countries where the term is life-plus-50 years (such as China, Japan, Korea and many others worldwide). As this work was first published before 1928 or failed to meet notice or renewal requirements to secure statutory copyright with no "restoration" under the GATT amendments, it is very likely to be public domain in the USA as well.

Please obey the copyright laws of your country. IMSLP does not assume any sort of legal responsibility or liability for the consequences of downloading files that are not in the public domain in your country.

Extra Information Prokofiev started to compose this piece in 1912 and finished it in 1913, premiering the work on the same year. However, during the Russian Revolution the score was destroyed. He reconstructed the score from the sketches in 1923 and re-premiered the work in 1924 but the new score was so different from the original that, according to Prokofiev, it almost could be considered a new concerto.

Navigation etc.

Some disagreement whether the first version is wholly lost ?..., as manuscript parts were copied for two performances and "Indeed, early in 1996 evidence points to an original version in the Glinka Museum." (from notes to Hyperion Recording of the revised version) -- (ok, nothing seems to have actually come of that by 2017, though. - ES)
